06:22 pm - Coding Instead Of Coping

Not feeling great: better than yesterday, still dizzy, throat still a little sore, not getting as much done as I'd like. But apparently enough attention span for some C coding.

Decided to finally get around to something I'd had an idea for two decades ago but kept putting off because I didn't need it quite badly enough to wade through varargs docs. Working on something else yesterday, I decided I needed this badly enough after all. The code works, which means I'm about 1/4 done. (Since I plan to use it again, and it might even wind up being useful to somebody else, Proper Documentation is in order ... and during the course of writing that, refinements and hooks for extensions will pop into my head arguing for their own inclusion in the code. It's a little thing, so it'll wind up dwarfed by its own documentation, but hey, that's how it works sometimes.)

Have a cat story to tell when I feel talkative again. Currently using coding (& doc writing) to distract self from feeling grumpy about not feeling well enough to do other things planned for today[*] and feeling worried about money and forms and bureaucracies I need to deal with. Programming as escapism. (Not the first time ... )

[*] And still feeling grumpy about missing the party Friday. Gonna have to get over that, I am. Feh.
